The federal government published, this Friday (18), the provisional measure that authorizes the release of the extraordinary withdrawal of the FGTS to workers with active or inactive accounts.
Withdrawals of up to R$1,000 can be made between April 20 and June 15, according to Pedro Guimarães, president of Caixa Econômica Federal, who spoke during the program’s launch ceremony on Thursday.
The balance will be available for withdrawal until December 15th. According to Guimarães, around R$ 30 billion will be released to the 42 million Brazilians benefiting from the measure.
The MP also considers that the amounts that are blocked in the worker’s FGTS linked account, if he has requested a birthday withdrawal, for example, will not be available for the extraordinary withdrawal.
If the person has more than one linked account, priority is given to those related to extinct employment contracts, starting with the account with the lowest balance, and then the others, following the same balance criterion.

How to check values and withdraw FGTS
The worker has three ways to check his FGTS balance: SMS, correspondence or through the smartphone application.
Caixa sends a letter with the information every two months to the worker’s registered residential address. To receive the SMS, it is necessary to subscribe to the service via the app. It is also possible to request information on 0800 726 01 01.
In the application, the user must click on “continue”, as soon as the message appears: “FGTS wants to use Caixa.gov.br to start session”.
The next step is to inform the CPF in the login area of the Caixa website. Then, a password is requested, the same one used to enter Caixa.gov.br and enjoy the bank’s other services.
If the user does not remember the password, simply click on the “forgot password” option. The CPF number will be requested again and, after informing it, an email will be sent to recover the password.
It is possible that the system asks the user for more information, such as mobile number or zip code.
After this step, the user may have to confirm more information, such as which companies he worked for, year of entry and municipality in which he resides or has already resided.
After confirming the information, the user will be able to check the amounts deposited by the current company or by the last company in which he worked.
After the consultation, the user will be able to request the amount to be transferred to their account.
He must indicate an account he owns, either with Caixa or any other bank and banking institution.
If you have been terminated from a company without just cause, the amount will be available in the informed account within 5 working days.
The worker will also be able to upload documents, in addition to following the steps between the request and the release of amounts for withdrawal.
